About this map

Tulip and Saling sit at the crossing of rural townships in late 1950s Missouri, marking a landscape defined by small-scale farming and local education. This survey captures a network of country schoolhouses that anchored the community before later consolidations, including Friendship Sch, Pine Sch, and Burnham Sch. The terrain is deeply etched by a branching hydrological system where Goodwater Creek and Long Branch wind through the borderlands of Monroe and Audrain counties.

Transportation and religious life are well-documented, from the G M & O railroad line in the southwest corner to the Appleman Ch located near the center of Saling township. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage patterns and land divisions that shaped these small communities at the edge of Larrabee Lake, offering a precise record of the road network and property boundaries of the mid-20th century.
